The justice system of the Elishan was very decentralized, with each city (and in some larger cities, each borough) maintaining an arbiter elected by the local population and approved by the overseeing Csvin. The arbiter serves the role of judge and jury. The system is often criticized for its lack of checks and balances within South Hills and the larger world.

The state of Rostraver's history was mostly as the vassal of a larger empire, the people of the region being largely made up of the nomadic [[Vangdren]] people. As such, upon becoming a state through the Breakup of Elishan by President Baldwin in 1798, the state adopted a similar system to the national government, including a state legislature directly elected by the people, a Governor also elected by the people, and a judiciary appointed by the Governor and approved by the legislature. The primary distinction of the Rostraver system of government is its method of representation. Due to the people's nomadic lifestyle, it was encoded into the state's constitution that representatives should not elected based on geography, but instead by community. Such a system was very unique in the early days of the UCCS, but has since become an arbitrary difference with the advent of the industrialization and urbanization. Some nomadic communities (who make up a notable minority) are still represented by their shared community, but the majority of Rostraver's population now live in stationary settlements, with their "community" now being synonymous with the city in which they live.
The history of the states of Rostraver and Ronald were primarily as the vassal of a larger empire, the people of the region being largely made up of the nomadic [[Vangdren]] people and the semi-nomadic herder [[Sauven]] people. As such, upon becoming states through the Breakup of Elishan by President Baldwin in 1798, the two states adopted a similar system to the national government, including a state legislature directly elected by the people, a Governor also elected by the people, and a judiciary appointed by the Governor and approved by the legislature. The primary distinction of the Rostraver and Ronald systems of government are their method of representation. Due to the people's nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle, it was encoded into the state constitutions that representatives should not be elected based on geography, but instead by community. Such a system was very unique in the early days of the UCCS, but has since become an arbitrary difference with the advent of the industrialization and urbanization. Some nomadic communities (who make up a notable minority) are still represented by their shared community, but the majority of Rostraver's and Ronald's population now live in stationary settlements, with their "community" now being synonymous with the city in which they live or the ranch that they own, with some constituencies being entirely made up of singular ranches resulting in a case of hyper-representation for some individuals.
